Frequently Asked Questions

The WBA offices are located at Eagle Stadium (35 Ballan Rd, Werribee). Our Customer Service office is located in the hallway opposite Court 5 and the Competition Office is further down the hallway opposite court 6.

If you’re playing junior domestic basketball, the best place to raise any issues is with your club delegates. The club delegates are best placed to deal with issues within your team or within your club and can also escalate issues to the WBA in an appropriate manner when required. For all other enquires, whether it’s referees, VJBL rep or Senior domestic, check out our CONTACT US page.

There are multiple pathways to get started in basketball. We have age-appropriate beginner’s programs like AUSSIE HOOPS and DOMESTIC DEVELOPMENT ACADEMY for kids who want to learn the basics and build confidence on court or our JUNIOR DOMESTIC COMPETITION if they’re keen to get straight into playing and training with a team. You can read all about how to get started in basketball HERE.

Junior teams need to let their club know – who will then get in touch with the WBA.

For Senior teams, the team delegate is to activate the forfeit by the TeamPay app. If the team is registered via a Club, the Club must notify the Wyndham Basketball office via emailing ccm@wyndhambasketball.com or calling 9742 5440 (during business hours). When 24 hours’ notice is given, the normal team sheet fee will apply. Failure to provide 24 hours’ notice will result in a forfeit fee of your team sheet and your opponents’ team sheet fee will apply.

We love to hear from former players wanting to get back into our great game. The best way to join a senior team as an individual is to CLICK HERE and fill in the form!

Submitting this form will add you to our player waiting list which is sent to all of our senior teams. In addition, we have had a number of people join teams simply by coming down on a competition evening and asking the competition office if anyone is looking for a fill in (there is almost always a team looking for an extra player).

To play for a team in our competition, you will need to join one of our Domestic clubs. Our Domestic clubs are all based in the suburbs of Wyndham and run independently and are affiliated with Wyndham Basketball. The best thing to do is contact 2 or 3 clubs nearest to where you live.

When making contact, provide them with

-Your child’s date of birth

– Advise that they are a beginner

– Ask what nights a week they usually train?

– What venues do they train at?

– Ask about fees and uniform costs, because they do vary from club to club.

The contacts for all of our clubs can be found HERE.

Wyndham Basketball offers the opportunity for players to progress from grassroots programs through to domestic basketball and then into state wide representative basketball competitions. The junior representative teams play in the VJBL and the senior representative teams play in the Big V competition. In addition to the core programs, Wyndham  Basketball also offers a number of camps and development programs to help players progress to higher levels in the pathway.

The “Wyndham Way” Curriculum is Wyndham Basketball’s club curriculum, which ensures there is consistency of what is taught throughout the rep program. The “Wyndham Way” curriculum aligns with directives set by Basketball Victoria and Basketball Australia so that our athletes have the best opportunity to progress to higher level programs.

All the information about our referee program can be found HERE. For all general refereeing enquiries and to find out when the next referee training course is on, email toc@wyndhambasketball.com

Representative basketball allows athletes to play in the biggest junior basketball league in the country (VJBL) and has been a key pathway for many of Australia’s best players including Ben Simmons, Dante Exum (here at Wyndham!), Liz Cambage, Andrew Bogut, Michelle Timms and Andrew Gaze. It also exposes athletes to a higher standard of competition and a higher standard of coaching. You can read more about our representative program HERE.

The exact dates may vary year to year but tryouts are generally during October.

If you have an enquiry about your domestic club fees you will need to speak to the club themselves, as they all run completely independently to the WBA. For all enquiries about representative fees you are best to email treasurer@wyndhambasketball.com

This depends on which uniform you are organising. If it is your domestic uniform, you will need to speak to your club directly as the WBA does not handle any domestic uniform orders. For VJBL representative uniforms you can contact our office with specific enquiries or check in with the uniform shop, which is open on some Sundays during training times.
